    Porous Silica vs. Fumed Silica – What Is the Difference?

    The following are some key differences.
    Source and Structure
    Porous silica has a well-developed pore structure, including micropores, mesopores, and macropores.
    Specific surface area and pore volume are its key performance indicators.
    Fumed silica consists of aggregated nano-sized primary particles.
    It has a non-porous or low-porosity structure.
    Its primary advantages are thickening performance and thixotropic performance.
    Adsorption and Controlled Release
    The pore volume and pore size of porous silica can be customized.
    It provides strong adsorption capacity and controlled release performance.
    This makes it suitable for use as a carrier material and matting agent.
    The primary function of fumed silica is rheology control.
    Its adsorption capacity is relatively limited.
    Absorption and Dispersion
    Porous silica has a significantly higher oil absorption value than fumed silica.
    It is more effective in applications requiring high adsorption capacity.
    This means porous silica offers advantages in skin feel improvement, oil control, drug loading, and matting performance.

    Choosing the Right Silica for Your Application

    Anti-Caking-Agent-for-Animal-Feed

    High Adsorption Silica

    Main characteristics: high surface area, strong adsorption capacity, and effective anti caking performance.

    Suitable applications include high humidity powder systems, mineral feed, hygroscopic powders, and products with long storage periods.

      是的. We recommend starting with small sample testing.
      After validation, you can proceed to trial orders or bulk purchasing of bulk silica.
      This approach helps reduce your trial and error cost.

      是的. These documents support your internal quality control and evaluation by R&D and procurement teams.
      If you have specific testing requirements, you can inform us in advance.

      Here is how we prevent this
      Controlled primary particle sizeOur synthesis process ensures narrow particle size distribution.
      No hard agglomeratesOur drying and packaging processes are designed to prevent particle fusion.

      What you can expectOur porous silica disperses easily with standard high-speed mixing — no additional milling required.No floating powder. No “fisheyes” or surface defects on your film.

      This is a common issue when the porous silica has particle size too largepoor refractive index matching with your base formula.

      Here is why some porous silica causes chalkiness

      • Large particles (>15 μm) scatter visible light, creating a white or hazy appearance

      • Poor dispersion leaves visible agglomerates that look like white specks

      How we solve this

      IssueOur solution
      Chalky appearanceParticle size D50 controlled at 5-10 μm — minimizes light scattering
      White specks in pressed powderNo hard agglomerates — disperses evenly
      Hazy finish in transparent formulasUltra-fine grade available (D50 <5 μm) for clear gels and serums
